Read the [Power Modes](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/power-modes) guide to select the mode that fits your application. ### GMSL2 camera connectivity **[GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2)** connectivity is a **standard feature** of the ZED Box 2 Max. It enables high-speed, low-latency, hardware-synchronized data transfer between the processing unit and your **ZED GMSL2 cameras**. * **8 [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) ports** on two Quad FAKRA-Z connectors, 4 ports each. Two GMSL2 FAKRA 1-to-4 cables are included. * Compatible with the **ZED X** stereo cameras and the **ZED X One** monocular cameras, which can be combined. * The **GMSL2 driver is pre-installed**. Connect the cameras before powering on the device: GMSL2 cameras are not hot-pluggable. The [Using GMSL](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/using-gmsl) guide describes how to set up your cameras. ### Connectivity The connection ports are available on the front and rear panels, described in the [Connectivity guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/connectivity): * 2x Quad [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) FAKRA-Z camera connectors * 1x QSFP+ port: 4x 10 GbE on the T5000, 3x 10 GbE on the T4000 * 2x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 (10/100/1000 Base-T) * 4x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 with **PoE+** (optional) * 4x USB 3.2 Type-A (2x 10 Gbps, 2x 5 Gbps) * 1x USB 3.2 Type-C, also used for system flashing * 1x USB 3.1 Type-C with USB Power Delivery input * 1x USB 2.0 Type-C debug port for [serial console](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/serial-console) access * 2x HDMI 2.0 * 1x Expansion I/O connector: 4x CAN FD (T5000 only), UART, I2C, 5V and 3.3V power rails * 2x 3.5 mm audio jacks: microphone input and line output * 2x SIM card slots for an optional 4G/5G module * **WiFi 6** (Intel AX210 module) with 2x external antennas * Power and Recovery buttons ### Storage memory An internal **M.2 NVMe SSD** hosts the operating system and your data. Three capacities are available: * 256 GB * 1 TB * 2 TB On models without the PoE+ option, a second M.2 Key M 2280 slot (PCIe Gen4 x2) can host an additional NVMe SSD, for example for long data-collection runs. Installing it requires opening the enclosure: contact [support@stereolabs.com](mailto:support@stereolabs.com) before doing so. ### Power supply The ZED Box 2 Max can be powered in two ways: * **DC terminal block** (9V to 36V, 10A max), with the provided power supply: supports all the [power modes](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/power-modes) and the PoE+ option. * **USB Type-C Power Delivery** (9V to 28V, 40W to 130W): does not support the PoE+ option, nor the 120W and MAXN power modes of the T5000. This power input is not recommended for now: use the DC terminal block. The maximum power consumption of the whole system is **250W**. Only one power input is active at a time: the first source connected is used. See the [Connectivity guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/connectivity#power-input) for the pinout. ### Cooling The ZED Box 2 Max features an **actively cooled** industrial aluminum enclosure, with an integrated heatsink and fan, to sustain the highest power modes of the Jetson Thor™ module. ### Software The ZED Box 2 Max is shipped with a **pre-configured operating system**, including the NVIDIA® JetPack™ 7 software stack, the **ZED SDK**, and the **GMSL2 drivers**, so it is operational out of the box. It supports ROS 2 and Isaac ROS. Flashing is only required to change the JetPack version or to recover the device. The [flashing guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2-max/reset-update), with updated flash scripts, will be available soon. ## Options In addition to the features above, the **ZED Box 2 Max** can be configured with the following **options**, based on your specific needs and use cases. ### PoE+ Option With the **PoE+** option, the ZED Box 2 Max provides **4 additional Gigabit Ethernet ports** that power the connected devices, such as lidars or IP cameras, according to the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard, with up to **25W per port**. Cameras and networked sensors connect directly, with no external switches or injectors. ### GNSS Option With the **GNSS** option, the ZED Box 2 Max integrates a **dual-antenna RTK GNSS** receiver, multiband L1/L2/L5, for centimeter-level positioning. Two multiband GNSS antennas are included, to connect to the SMA connectors on the rear panel. The GNSS data can be fused with the ZED cameras by the ZED SDK [Global Localization](/docs/development/zed-sdk/modules/global-localization) module. ### 4G/5G cellular connectivity The two SIM card slots allow the connection of the ZED Box 2 Max to 4G/LTE and 5G cellular networks, with an additional M.2 cellular module. > **Warning** > > The 4G/5G module, its SMA connectors, and its antennas are not included.
